What Is Saccharomyces … Ferment Filtrate?

Saccharomyces/Day Lily Flower/Honey Ferment Filtrate is a multi-component fermented ingredient created by fermenting saccharomyces (a type of yeast), day lily flower extract, and honey together. The result is a liquid filtrate—essentially the liquid portion after the solid matter has been removed—that contains compounds produced during fermentation, including amino acids, antioxidants, and organic acids.

The ingredient functions primarily as a skin conditioning agent, meaning it aims to improve the skin's feel, texture, and overall hydration status. Fermented ingredients are thought to contain smaller molecular compounds and bioactive substances that may penetrate the skin more readily than their non-fermented counterparts.

How It Works

During fermentation, saccharomyces breaks down the honey and day lily flower components, producing amino acids, organic acids, and other bioactive metabolites. These smaller molecules can penetrate the outermost layer of skin more effectively than larger plant molecules, delivering hydrating and conditioning benefits.

The combination also introduces natural humectants (moisture-attracting compounds) and antioxidants that work to sustain skin hydration and protect against oxidative damage from environmental factors.

Clinical Evidence & References

Published clinical research specifically evaluating this particular fermented blend is limited. However, fermented skincare ingredients as a category have shown promise in preliminary studies for improving skin hydration, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and supporting overall skin condition through their concentration of bioactive compounds.

Individual components—saccharomyces ferments, honey, and botanical extracts—each have a body of supportive research suggesting conditioning and antioxidant benefits. The specific efficacy of this particular combination would benefit from further clinical validation.

How to Use

This ingredient is typically found in serums, essences, and moisturisers. Use it as part of your regular routine, applying to clean skin before heavier creams. Because it is a conditioning agent rather than an active treatment, it can be used daily without concern for over-treatment. Layer it with other hydrating or treatment products according to your skincare goals.

Safety & Precautions

This ingredient is generally well-tolerated across skin types. Those with yeast sensitivities or fermentation sensitivities should patch-test first, though adverse reactions are uncommon.
